Alright, still recovering from it all, but I gotta say, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
I'm so glad I watched this movie (been putting it off for way too long) -- Instant classic
That's the best confusing movie I've ever seen for sure. And you know what? Everything makes sense, at least if you're willing to give it one. David Lynch's sense of imagery and symbolism is so powerful it transcends the need for plot, even though there's definitely a plot. And the latter is what I love about this movie: even though it's hella confusing (probably one of the most mindfuck movies out there?), 75% of the movie is actually quite straightforward to follow.
The other 25%, however, is where things get tricky.
Anyone going into this movie expecting to understand it all on first viewing kinda missed the point. David Lynch left nothing to waste (the look and feel of the dream world is so deceptively perfect!), every frame has a meaning, every character a raison d'être, and they all serve a higher purpose than just "advancing the plot".
I can't wait to watch this again. It has found its way into my most beloved movies ever after just 1 viewing. I wonder what more viewings will bring?
A+ One of the best movies I've ever seen
